Ok, a thread I can contribute to :D

Alright, so I'm a bit of an audiophile, and if you don't mind spending a decent amount of change take these headphones into consideration:

http://www.shure.com/americas/produ...nes/se-models/se215-sound-isolating-earphones

They are 100$, BUT have one of the best in ear seals I have ever seen on headphones, a wrap around cable that you place behind the ear that you don't even notice when walking / running / working out, detachable cable so if your cable dies, you can order a new one for cheap and just pop off the bud's and reattach them to the new cable, AMAZEing noise cancellation (I can't hear a thing thats going around me on a busy bus), flat frequency response (which is good for a DJ / Producer like myself, but also for you because you can go into DSP manager to add as many Db's or take away them as you please to get more BASS), it comes with tons of bass out of the box thanks to the good in ear seal, and finally, the cable is kevlar lined, so you can treat it like crap unlike most skullcandys that I used to own and it wont break ;)

Just my two cents, also please excuse the run-on :P

As an ex-frequenter of head fi I'd have to recommend the monster turbines range. And if you can find them on sale that's a plus

Hey heyodee, what amp do you recommend. Never looked into them, but i can tell the audio controller isnt loud enough
[HTC Amaze 4G] heyodee:
MusixFX, does not work with HTC Sense Music

Equalizer

I personally use Poweramp music player

If you using xboarder's ROM, you could use the DSP Manager
[HTC Amaze 4G] dubt17:
You can use dsp manager in any rom with root. Just download root tools and inatall it in the advance settings :)

Monster Turbine

I was just about to post the same thing, then saw your post, yeah X2 on the turbines. Best in-ear headphones I've ever listened to. The price is well worth it, although I did get mine for free.

Can't post a link, but if you search Amazon you'll find them for around $95.

Sennheiser OCX 880: $34.99 for 48 hrs only

Newegg has the OCX 880 on sale for $59.99 with free shipping.

With promo code EMCYTZT1110 you'll get another $25.00 off = $34.99

This coupon code valid for only 48 hours.

I ordered mine a few days ago for 59.99 and regret I didn't wait for a few more day. Don't know how the sound is but based on rewiews from Head-fi forum, the OCX 880 needs at least 48hours burn-in period to get the best of it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] greenleaf247:

[HTC Amaze 4G] marleyfan61:
I had turbines for a while. Great sound but I couldn't get them to stay in my ears no matter what tips I used. I ended up with the Bowers and Wilkins C5. Amazing bass response and rock solid in the ear. A bit pricey but worth it in my opinion. I have also used Klipsch s4 quite nice and half the price, House of Marley Midnight Zion, also very nice for the money.

[HTC Amaze 4G] NRGZ28:
I use monster turbines as well and they sound great with the Amaze. Get a small headphone amplifier like the fiio e5 and it sound even better :)

I have two sets of those in black. "HTC RC E190 Tangle Free Headphones"

I paid $17.95 on Amazon.

They sound great for under $20. I can recommend these. :)

[HTC Amaze 4G] underamoon:
Had a pair of shures for about 7 years or so and they are great. I also rotate some others and have several cheap ones that I leave at the car, at work.. etc. But the shures produce the best sound. When I'm in the mood I'll also use a headphone amp.

At some point the sound only is as good as the source. There is only so much you can get from mp3/ streaming...so don't go crazy trying to get the most expensive buds.

Finally, everyone has a different preference. Some like a thumping bass, some a cleaner more musical bass, while others look for warmer tones or overall clarity. Spend some time to understand your sound prefence. Then pick based on your preference. Different buds have different sound profiles even in the same brand.

Im using a pair or OEM Apple Mic with Remote with the Remote Control app which gives any headphones with buttons Iphone earphone controls, makes it nice, and POWERAMP paid version helps, but go to walmart theres some white and red phillips earphone are very nice

from what i understand headphone remote work by changing the power going through the wires in pulses which you can hack up your self with resistors soldered into the switches.. I am assuming this remote control app would change what its looking for on power differences on the wires?

[HTC Amaze 4G] NJROX1112:
Phillips

In my opinion, Phillips makes the best earbuds. Like, ever. I've had Studio Beats, Skullcandys, pretty much all of the major brands, and some very small brands. The first pair of Phillips headphones I bought were the SHE-6000. They sound great, but for a few bucks more on Amazon, I bought the SHE-9000, and they are even better. Both of them are under 20 bucks, and they will both last you a long time. I seriously cannot recommend them highly enough.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Shabidoo:
Monoprice

I use the Klipsch s4a's which I really like, but if you don't care about having an included mic, and are on a tight budget, Lifehacker reviewed the Monoprice 8320s as the best earbud under $10.

Apparently they are totally decent buds if you swap out the stock tips. I haven't done this on my Klipsch's because they fit really well, but I have some cheaper buds where I did swap out the tips. I just punched some holes out of the center of Mack foam ear plugs and shortened them to make the best tips ever (another lifehacker idea). On Amazon search for Monoprice Enhanced Bass Hi-Fi Noise Isolating Earphones.

[XPERIA X8 General] deedii:
Let me start the thread by a warm greetings. Happy New Year Everyone.

Its been a very great year for X8 owners. Here are some review last 2011

WHAT WE HAD

Fully Working Froyo

Fully Working Gingerbread

Unlocked Bootloader

Real Dual Touch

Overclocked

Undervolt

Custom Kernels

etc..

Not to mention also there's a lot of new potential developers came and go.

WHAT WE LOST

Racth

TeamXperia

Doixanh

Indonesian Devs

etc..

WHAT IS LEFT

TROLLS

Some promising DEV's

WHAT IS THE FUTURE OF X8

Maybe we can already foresee what will happened here if we dont start changing our bad attitude that discourages devs.

Its quite sad that we had a reverse progress rather than we go up and be stronger, we fall down because of our selfishness.

What will be your resolution for this year? Hope not to troll more.

Good luck and Have fun to those who are new and old in the Community.
[XPERIA X8 General] Mika Dee:
I totally agree. This community became already a FLAMMING ZONE.

70% are just flamming post only 30% are just useful. At the end of the year people mess this community up.
[XPERIA X8 General] Lobialkon:
What happened with dx? been a while since his last update on gdx, i kinda miss him :(

The best thing we can do is to report troll comments on the forums so that the mods and adms can delete the replys and make this place a more peaceful one, and with some luck, the devs will encourage to continue developing X8!

Goodbye

PD: Sorry for my bad english.

[XPERIA X8 General] zieaditya:
FXP never leave us,,look at they github,they still update they project for x8.

maybe our "true" devs just silent,and we know 'why' they keep silent.

and look at development thread,to much rom with no dev there,just theming and change launcher people make new thread ^_^ . i'm not say DONT,but we must think; what we have done to post in "DEVELOPMENT"?

hope this year our comunnity will be better and better.

sorry for my poor english.
[XPERIA X8 General] kuyagaol:
+1 deedii

I hope everybody is back n developing again specially CM9 for mdpi x8.

hoping in a week there's a good news about it.

but life goes on..maybe they don't have x8 anymore.. but I hope for the best.

goodluck for the new dev here.. user too.

I'm feeling so lucky being around here on early stage of development till last year.

now something weird is going on in dev sec..:? idk

and last, maybe its kinda too late..

happy new year to you all.

The X8 community isn't what it used to be anymore. Our forums are slowly decaying. At the time I signed up, there was a flame of so much interest and willingness to help others.

I myself, was eager to learn and help others when I was able to but I'm not that active anymore. I have grown tired of this :(

[Optimus One, P500, V General] NicoC72:
Hello, I am having a little issue with my wallpapers. Any of them that have a fading effect end up with a weird thing happening to them. The wallpaper I am trying to use is a basic faded blue wallpaper but when I use it as a wallpaper it gets pixelated. It looks fine on the computer and in PhotoShop, but not the phone. This happens with all pictures like that, from my computer, Zedge, where ever.

So, is there any way to fix this pixely looking picture into what it really is? Any option I can change? I am using ThaUnknownArtist's Ice Cream Sandwich Final ROM. I know it is not the launcher, since I have tried it with Go, LP, and ADW.

Sorry I can't post the pictures, I am new on XDA and it won't let me post outside URL's. Thanks to anyone with an answer! :D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] reikar:
I think it's so because our phones screen outputs only 265K colors instead of 16M like some other phones.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] NicoC72:
Ok, thank you. I well try messing around in PS and see what happens.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] NicoC72:
No, it doesn't have to do with the screen. Just tried the same picture on another Optimus V and it looked fine. Maybe it's the ROM? I'll see what I can do. Any tips though?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] reikar:
In CM7 roms there is a option for surface dithering, if its unchecked then this might also cause your symtoms
[Optimus One, P500, V General] droidaem:
there still are these GIF-like colors also when surface dithering is enabled.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] thanosl2:
It is a known issue caused by the poor screen of p500 and the lack of dithering in some roms. A workaround is to download quickpic from market and put a wallpaper through that app. Dithering problems is almost gone in quickpic
[Optimus One, P500, V General] NicoC72:
Thank you! I put the wallpaper through Quick Pic and it fixed it. Seems like it was a problem with the gallery.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] kaijura:
I was looking into buying either the TF / Prime this past week, and have been looking into the benchmarks I see on the net. I've seen a few reviews, one from AnandTech, and the other one from Slashgear and random Antutu benches across the web.

If I'm understanding correctly, it seems the Prime obviously does have an edge, however for general non-gaming use it seems the differences are minimal? Can anyone confirm or if you own both to test it out?

In a javascript benchmark (AnandTech.com), I'd only see a 0.4-0.5 second difference loading JS heavy webpages?

The BrowserMark comparison at slashgear shows a 0.5-0.6 second gain by the Prime:

So are the benches really showing the difference is this minimal or are there more to talk about that I'm not seeing? (Not referring to game benches, not too interested in gaming)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dagrim1:
From what I understand the main difference is in the GPU so for games and such it will matter... Also more hardware support for video making 1080p a feature now.

The cpu itself is clocked higher so I wonder what the differences would be with an equally clocked TF101. I guess barely noticable...

Off course there's the quadcore vs dualcore but I wonder if that really matters in day to day use. I don't expect a huge difference in user experience so in that regards I don't think there's a big reason to upgrade from TF101 to TF201.

I still will though, because the size decrease (and weight decrease) combined with the other factors still make it a nice upgrade. But looking at just performance, meh...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bob dylan:
i overclock my Tf101 to 1.5ghz and its very fast now. i would argue an overclocked Tf101 would perform the same if not better than a prime in most of these tests.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dagrim1:
But then again, the prime might have just as much overclocking room... Giving it the lead again.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] pside15:
The problem is that benchmarks generally mean absolutely nothing. Having a good benchmark doesn't mean you are going to get great real world use.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] brachiopod:
That's the thing, having a machine that benchmarks 26% faster (TF201 vs TF 101) does not mean that it is going to necessarily be faster in real life depending on the software and how it uses it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] GasGuzz:
Benchmarks should prove the Prime to be a better machine, singularly. Dual/quad-core, it’s all about apps utilization and user functionality.

Then there’s price/performance, (in my case) a $250 101 beats the 201.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] kaijura:
That's the part of what I've been trying to say. If I'm only going to see a split second of differences (0.5 second) in browsing around heavy javascript or just general web browsing performance, is there more than this?

Seems like so far the only argument I can see about getting a Prime is a GPU and CPU boost to gaming fps by 20-30 fps.

What about outside of gaming, in respect to general tasks that can take some time, like compressing a zip of a nand backup or large rom files, general encryption, etc.

The price per performance of the TF101 definitely seems to be taking the lead if we aren't talking about gaming apps.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] kaijura:
My impression is that quad core performance vs dual core does not follow a linear scale.. If the way the architecture of 4x ARM CPU's (TF201) vs 2x (TF101) is any similar to how Intel Quad vs Duo started getting popularity a few years ago, I feel that there are going to be relatively few noticeable differences, when the dual can suit an average user without noticeably seeing any changes using a quad for their tasks... Mainly it will have to wait until which apps can utilize the multiple cores efficiently. Crysis for android?

Course I might be off base with this, that's why I wanted to ask you guys who have owned it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Rumbleweed:
Unless you are using high end games specifically designed for the Quad core/GPU, you should not notice a real difference. Much of what you do with any tablet or computer is speed dependent on outside sources ie network speed, ( both on your end and the other end) input speed etc. If you are using or rendering high end graphics, you will notice the difference, but then why use a tablet for that in the first place.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Magnesus:
The first benchmark for Prime is done is slowest, power saving mode.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] lovebird882005:
Asus TF201 Prime is the best:cool:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dragon_76:
The 201 actually has a 5th core that is for normal usage, so most of the time you will be running a single core. I have seen in benchmarks that the internal flash on the 201 is slower than the 101. The 201 also has only a mono speaker compared to the stereo 101. The 101 right now has overclocking and custom ROMs. Add in price and that is the reason I just bought a 101 instead of a 201.

Cheers!
